Only Liberal Nationals support an East West Link and North East Link

Monday, May 07, 2018

Reports that
the Turnbull Government’s Budget will provide nearly $5 billion for
construction of both an East West Link and a North East Link gives Victorian
voters a clear choice at the next state election.

We need to fix
congestion in the north east but doing that without fixing the end of the
Eastern Freeway will only see more people stuck in traffic longer by putting
100,000 more cars on to the Eastern Freeway.

Only the
Liberal Nationals support both an East West Link and a future North East Link.

Daniel Andrews
and Labor don’t support an East West Link and wasted $1.3 billion of taxpayers’
money when he tore up the contract after promising voters it wasn’t worth the
paper it was written on.

If the East
West Link project went ahead it would now be almost complete and ready for a
North East Link to connect to the Eastern Freeway.

We need to fix
congestion in the north eastern suburbs but first we need to fix the Eastern
Freeway which is already congested and cannot support another 100,000 cars
daily.

Victorians now
have a clear choice. The Liberal Nationals who support both an East West Link
and a future North East Link or Labor who only want to build a North East Link
that will channel 100,000 more cars into a car park on the Eastern Freeway.
